Made to Flourish: Women’s Retreats & Faith Deconstructed

This week on the podcast, Mike and Beth share insights from Beth’s recent women’s retreat, including how she chooses a retreat theme, creates meaningful content, and delegates responsibilities to build a strong team. They also discuss how their leadership styles have changed over the years and why micromanaging and control often reveal a lack of trust in leadership.
Mike talks about his visit to the new Dutch Bros Coffee and gives his perspective on the growing trend of faith deconstruction in today’s culture. The conversation also dives into the four sides of social media Mike—wittiness, snark, trolling, and vengeance—and how online behavior shapes modern communication.
They wrap up the episode with an update on the podcast’s worldwide listenership and audience growth.
Perfect for listeners interested in leadership, women’s ministry, faith, church culture, social media trends, and personal growth.
